It is good that you realized that your question

 Was this known non-nun a visual artist?
was subtly different than "Was she involved in the visual arts?". (I knew that a question like your was going to come eventually, and I was curious to see how it was going to be phrased.)

 Known primarily for an association with another person (including but not limited to familial, marital, or romantic relations)?
Yes, I would say that there is a particular person she is associated with.

1,2: Real female human being
3,5,9,10: Dead; born in years 101 AD - 1600 AD
4,7: Born in Eurasia; was German, French, or Italian
6: Was involved in politics, royalty, or nobility, but her involvement in that is, strictly speaking, not the source of her fame
8,13: Not known primarily for written works or for being a visual artist
11: A known non-nun
12: Not known for circumstances surrounding her death

Not: Artemisia Gentileschi

 Known primarily, or to a significant degree, for involvement in politics, royalty, or nobility?
No.
At least one of the following is true: she was involved in politics or government, she was royalty, she was a noblewoman. And certainly, that fact opened up opportunities for her that she would not have otherwise had. But that fact alone is not what she is primarily known for.
